English Afternoon tea

So following my three time visit to Tea Cozy, i have fallen in love with the scones there..

Well, i have never had scones before in my life, but that did not stop me from thinking that the scones there really delicious and would be one of the few better ones..

With an obession to make scones and the power of google, i start to browse through pages after pages for scones and english afternoon tea...

From Joy of Baking, i found out that english afternoon tea is something that people have in the late afternoon from 3pm to 5pm. Not to be mistaken as high tea, afternoon tea are usually served in the late afternoon in between light lunch and late lunch with tea and light refreshment while high tea are more like early lunch with more heavy food that includes fishes and meats.

There is no standard menu nor food for afternoon tea even though it would usually consist of scones, sandwiches and most importantly, sandwiches. From the reference that i have read, i guess the type of refreshments prepared really depends on personal preferences and seasonal (if it is applicable).

Even though so, my goal for now is to be able to prepare afternoon tea for two person... I guess it is really not easy for me because other than scones and sandwiches, there should also be cake, pastries and etc for it to be considered as afternoon tea. Out of the many things that i have mentioned, i guess i am only capable of making presentable sandwiches, so i will really have to work harder to learn how to make the others..

Japanese Curry

Since this is a food blog, so i will need to start off with some nice food photographs.. so here it is... Japanese curry...

Japanese Curry with egg.

I mixed the rice with seaweed premix to give it a seaweed taste and added mushroom into my curry for a more satisfying and yummy meal..

Nothing fancy... it is instant jap curry power... ^_^

First entry

Okay... so since i already have two blogs before this blog.. so i doesnt feel that nervous typing this entry (what am i talking about)... starting a food blog.. has been one of my goal since last year ever since i step into the beautiful and delicious looking world of food blog.... I read thru blog after blog to look at how people bake their stuff.. how they decorate it... and how beautiful their creation looks like... Getting amazed by how good their skills are at combining all basic stuff into a wonder dish...

So here i am starting my own food blog... hopefully it will not be cast aside and will have new entry every now and then...

The reason why i have decide to start my blog now is because i have finally gotten myself a oven... so i can bake stuff.... wahahah!

I am not a very good cooker as i doesnt really cook at all on a daily basis... mayb on a once in a blue moon then i will cook... but it is very simple stuff and nothing fanciful... so i am really just learning how to cook and bake... hopefully... one day.. my creation will look as good as those that i have seen on the food blogs that i go to... ^_^

Currently on my to try list are two things:

1) Clay pot pudding (wan zai gao)
2) Thai Lup Chup
